Mental illnesses are on the rise among the elderly in our country, and it is an important point related to the nutritional problems. This is a bibliographic review with the aim of reaching in a greater understanding of how the level of good nutrition can be disparaged in old people when they are suffering from any type of mental disorder. Our conclusion is: the impacts in these cases are enormous and the nurses, in cooperation with the other professionals of health, can change this situation. Polypharmacy is another major risk and deserves a lot of our regular attention.
